Lewis & Luca - too Similar?

[*TripleJ*]

i think they sound awesome together but i do agree they may get the same nickname but Luca might get called Luke by his mates when hes older

[MrsFabuloso]

I would think that Luca would be shortened to Luke too...Lou and Luke...cute!!

My two get shortened to Lil and Li. I think of it in terms of the future. When my kids are grown up and thier own people (not that they're not now....but I mean moved out of home, etc) I don't think they're going to be worried about the fact that their names are similar sounding. I did think about them sounding similar and getting them confused, but I don't. I get their cousins names mixed up with theirs more than I confuse their names, and their cousins are Ashley and Justin! I love their names and that's all I'm worried about now!

I think they are too similar as others have allready said the nicknames could be the same.

I come from a family of three girl's and all our names start with " L " but our names are very different to each other ... even the nicknames couldn't be the same

... I don't think nicknames are so much an issue but i'm sorry to say yes the two names do sound similar to a certain degree (i have to say i love Luca).

Are you in favour of a " L " name for a boy ??? ... Only reason i ask is cause i'm crazy about " K " boy names, lol

[MumofLewis]

We aren't consciously looking for another L name, we just seem to get drawn to them! Even girls L names are lovely IMO.

How about Lewis and Luke? then Luke wouldn't have Lou as a nickname? Lewis doesn't get called Lewi or Lew at the moment but then he is only 2!

I'm just trying to work my way round it, deep down I know they are too similar but I love the name!

[smiles4u]

... yeh Lewis & Luke doesn't sound so similar but still has that familiar ring about them together (so sorry )

Can we all here help you with some " L " boys names ?? ... You never know someone might mention something that will really work together with Lewis (just an idea).

Sarah, i have to give you credit my DP & i couldn't even agree on a boy's name right up until i went into labour ... yep, we had NO boy's name, not even a middle name ... so your doing better than i did

I do not think so! I have Rylee and Brydie!
